HOT SHOT INTO HIS FOES.
Young Members Tainted With Being
Afraid of Senator Brown-Senator
James Denies That the Committee
Over-ndulged in Whisky and Cham
payne as Charged by Mr.. Huff.
ATLANTA, Oct EN- the Senate
to-day Mr.. James arose to ques-
ton of personal privilege and said; Il
find in Yesterdays Journal that Mr.. Huff
while speaking on the penitentiary bill in
the House said that the last committee that
went to the Dade coal mines had one end Of
the coach filled with whisky and champagne
and the other end with cigars, and that one
member of the committee got maudln
drunk and fell out O, his bunk Now you
can magazine what kind of a report a COM
mittee like this would get up. As chair
man of that committee l desire to
state that as far as am
individually concerned, | did not drink
aIybody's whisky or champagne, or smoke
anybody's cigars, and | desire 10 say, in
behalf of the committee, that the attack
made on them is unjust and untrue. They
discharged their full duty, and were not in
fuenced by anybody or by any means ex
cept as they were in honor bound by their
oaths. By reference to the report made at
the last session, it will be found that they
made thorough, complete and careful
examination.
The gentleman from Bib, in his zeal 10
improve the penitentIary system, should be
careful not to cast unjust reflections on
members who have discharged their full
duty
